Top things to do in Edinburgh

There are so many fun activities in Edinburgh, whether you're looking for something free to do, things to do with the kids, or a romantic weekend away. In the summer, experience the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and some of the many fun things to do at night. If you're visiting at any other time of the year, Edinburgh is still filled with beautiful nature (and event some wonderful hikes for a bird's eye view of Edinburgh), medieval landmarks, and several other noteworthy attractions. The sights, along with some of the friendliest people in the world, make Edinburgh a destination that will surely leave you in awe for a long time. Here are some of the things you shouldn’t miss when in Edinburgh.

Museums

During earlier times, Edinburgh was nicknamed “Athens of the North” by Scottish Enlightenment thinkers due to the abundance of art, literature, science, and philosophy in the city. At present, this is still evident through the world-class cultural institutions that can be found in Edinburgh. You can find out more in our guide to our top picks of museums in Edinburgh.

Remember to always check the museum's bag policy before you visit, many museums will not permit large backpacks or large purses! While some may have a bag check or offer luggage lockers, it's always best to know before you arrive. If they don't, book convenient luggage storage with us so that you don't miss out.

Shopping 

There are some excellent places to shop in Edinburgh. In fact, there’s a wide and eclectic range of options for those who want to get their retail therapy on. From large brands and upscale department stores to independent boutiques and novelty shops, there are plenty of retail choices to explore.

  • Ocean Terminal: Located on the waterfront right beside the famous Royal Yacht Britannia, Ocean Terminal is the biggest shopping center in all of Edinburgh. The complex also hosts several restaurants, bars, and even a cinema. 
  • Cadenhead’s Whisky Shop: One of the things that Scotland is known for is high-quality whisky, and perhaps the best place to get a bottle would be at Cadenhead’s Whisky Shop. The shop is one of the first independent bottlers in Scotland (and the last surviving one!), making the product you buy an exceptional one.
  • Herman Brown: If you're looking for vintage items and antiques, this is the go-to place in Edinburgh. Owner and founder Anna Nicholson travels to different parts of the globe for some rare finds – from vintage clothing to jewelry.

After you’re done shopping don’t forget to take advantage of Bounce’s many luggage storage options near these shopping locations. Drop your shopping bags off at one of our storage providers and enjoy the rest of your day exploring.

Dining

Over recent years, Edinburgh has seen an increase in tourists who come to enjoy the local culinary cuisine, whether that's a delicious dinner, one of Edinburgh's best brunches, or the fantastic street food available during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

If you have no idea where to start, check out our top restaurant suggestions in Edinburgh:

  • Aizle: The restaurant, with a name that stands for “ember” in the Scottish dialect, explores the concept of “bistronomy” – local food in an informal setting but with a menu that’s made for fine dining.
  • Timberyard: This Scandinavian-themed restaurant is located in a former warehouse and has gradually built its reputation as one of the best places to dine in Edinburgh.
  • Mary’s Milk Bar: Found in the buzzing area of Grassmarket, this local institution features a range of cold treats with eccentric flavors, such as brandy mince pie-flavored gelato or sweetcorn and black pepper sorbet.

Left luggage Edinburgh Waverley train station

Located on Prince's street in the heart of the city, Edinburgh Waverley station brings people in and out of Edinburgh from across Scotland, as well as from around the rest of the United Kingdom. There are plenty of things to do in Waverley station, and if you're looking for a left luggage storage location, you can find one inside the station itself, open between 8 am and 9pm Monday - Sunday. However, if you're after convenient luggage storage that operates 24/7, or don't want to keep your belongings inside a busy station, head on over to one of our many nearby bag storage locations.

Can I store my luggage at other Edinburgh train stations?

Yes, a number of the train stations in Edinburgh have luggage storage companies and lockers on-site or within walking distance. These include Waverly, Edinburgh City, Haymarket, Royal Mile, Castle, and Canongate. The prices range from £4.75 to £10 per day.

Frequently asked questions

“What’s the best way to get around Edinburgh?”

Walking seems to be one of the best ways to travel through Edinburgh. Most of the city’s major attractions are nearby, as well as amenities like restaurants and shopping centers.

“What’s the best neighborhood to stay in Edinburgh?”

This question is harder to answer than you might think. On one hand, Old Town Edinburgh is the city’s historic district – so this is the best neighborhood to stay for sightseeing. Conversely, Stockbridge is a quiet hamlet where visitors can dine on traditional Scottish cuisine.

“What are the best museums to visit in Edinburgh?”

The National Museum of Scotland is one of Edinburgh’s most popular exhibits. You won’t believe your eyes at the Camera Obscura and the World of Illusions. You’ll also get a major sugar rush at the Chocolatarium.

“What’s the best time of year to visit Edinburgh?”

Western Europe is notorious for its wild, often rainy weather. That’s why we recommend visiting during the summer. Even though your trip might be a bit pricier, it’s better than being rained on during your vacation. Expect cool weather either way.

Where can I store my luggage in Edinburgh?

You can store your luggage at many places in Edinburgh all over the city. Near the central business district, you will find storage companies near Waverly Station, Haymarket, Edinburgh Bus Station, Edinburgh Airport, and West End. There are many businesses that will keep your bags secure for a small fee while you explore the city.

Are there storage lockers in Edinburgh?

Yes, there are a bunch of self-storage lockers around Edinburgh from right outside the airport and train stations as well as near many tourist attractions. For example, there are a few outside the Edinburgh Castle, several along the Royal Mile, and a whole bunch of them outside Holyrood Park and Holyrood Palace.
